Purple Resort Pondicherry

A Journey to Pondicherry to Enjoy a Fun and Exciting Vacation Time

I am quite busy with my business which keeps me occupied all the time, so whenever I am free for a couple of days, I immediately book tickets to an interesting vacation destination to relax. This time I decided to visit Pondicherry and booked train tickets for the same through the IRCTC website.

About the Pondicherry Express 16856


My journey to Pondicherry from Coimbatore was on the Pondicherry Express which was comfortable and smooth.  This train operates on Friday and it begins its journey in Mangalore Central. So Coimbatore is just a stopover on its route to Pondicherry.  The total journey period from Mangalore Central to Pondicherry station is 37 hours. 

The Pondicherry Express is intended to connect stations in Maharashtra, Karnataka and then Tamil Nadu, finally culminating in the Pondicherry station.  By offering connectivity from Maharashtra, it enables travelers from this state to reach Pondicherry.

Travelers from Maharashtra can also get down at a station in Karnataka, so this train facilitates such sojourns as well.  Furthermore, travelers from Karnataka can get on this train to reach Pondicherry and enjoy a comfortable journey to the place.

On route from Mangalore Central it makes 37 halts and travels a distance of 1640 kilometers. The distance from Coimbatore to Pondicherry on board the Pondicherry Express is very short, as the city is just one of the few remaining stopovers that it has to make en route to its destination.

The journey was just three hours and fifteen minutes during which time I spent enjoying some snacks and reading magazines. I got down at the Pondicherry station from where I took a cab to reach the hotel where accommodation had been booked.

Stay Is In a Lovely Four Star Hotel


My place of stay was the majestic Purple Resort Pondicherry. This is a boutique hotel that will simply mesmerize you with its hospitality.  The rooms here are large, fitted with high quality furnishings and latest guest facilities that make way for a comfortable staying experience.

The interior ambience is pleasant, created through a charming mix of traditional and modern décor as well as utility items. I enjoyed all meals of the day in the hotel’s multi cuisine restaurant. In the evening, I would enjoy snacks and beverages at the coffee shop here.

Sightseeing and Return

I took a cab through the hotel to reach Aurbindo Ashram and Auroville, which I had been wanting to visit for quite some time. I spent long hours here, taking in the loveliness of the surroundings and meditating whenever I could sit down for some time. I also managed to visit the Botanical Gardens and Pondicherry museum which left me with lasting memories.  Once I got back to the hotel, I packed to take the train back home.
